Curcumin — the principal pigment of turmeric — delivers a bright, strong yellow. Extracted as an oleoresin and purified to stabilise colour; available in water-dispersible and oil-soluble formats.
Curcumin is the principal pigment of turmeric and provides intense bright yellow colour even at low dosages. It is oil-soluble by nature but is offered in water-dispersible forms for broader application ranges. Curcumin is generally heat-stable and suitable for products across acidic pH ranges.
| Water-dispersible powder / liquid | Water dispersible forms available — up to ~30% pigment. |
| Oil-soluble liquid | Oil-soluble grades (oleoresin based) — up to ~30% pigment. |
| Recommended Dosage | Start trials at 0.01% – 0.1% and adjust for desired shade & matrix. } |
Curcumin is versatile and widely used in dairy, bakery, and snacks to provide a natural, clean-label yellow. Common applications include butter, margarine, baked goods, ice cream, and savoury seasonings.
Store protected from light and oxygen in cool, dry conditions. Use FIFO and request batch-specific TDS/COA for regulatory declarations in your target market. Curcumin is heat-stable and performs well in acidic pH applications, but test for permanence in your processing conditions. }
Where clarity or permanence is critical (e.g., clear beverages), use specialised beverage-grade water-dispersible curcumin dispersions designed for stability and clarity. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
